The income and capital of the trust fund is held on such trusts (whether of capital and its resulting income or income alone) for the benefit of such charity or charities as the trustees shall in their absolute discretion appoint and, in default, to pay or apply the net income of the trust fund to or for such charitable purposes as the trustees may from time to time determine. The trustees' policy is to make donations to smaller charities where they are more likely to be able to make a significant difference. Charities are chosen from those who submit applications and others where the trustees have personal knowledge of their good work. The trustees are particularly willing to consider smaller charities and charitable projects principally in and around Carlisle in order to benefit the local community. The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. The charity has no voluntary, seconded or paid staff. **- 2 -** ## **E C GRAHAM'S CHARITABLE SETTLEMENT** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** During the year donations totalling £110,100 (2024 - £99,750) were made, those mostly went to charities principally in and around Carlisle. The income from the Hayton Estate for the year increased compared to 2024 and totalled £86,326 (2024 - £81,880). During the year there was £16,218 (2024 - £13,257) expenditure incurred on property maintenance and repair costs. No additions/capital improvements were made to the Estate during the year. The total income from UK and non-UK quoted investments increased by £20,896 in the year. The overall value of the investment portfolio has decreased by £111,786, with net losses on the revaluation and disposal of investment assets being £145,977 (2024 - gains of £398,358) during the year. Overall, this resulted in a net decrease in funds of £154,689 (£2024 - increase of £371,953) ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** The Hayton Estate, owned by the charity, is managed locally by chartered surveyors and land agents. The charity also owns a portfolio of UK and non-UK quoted investments. This is managed on a discretionary basis by Brewin Dolphin Ltd on the basis of a written statement summarising the trustees' investment policy which they consider was complied with. The charity holds unrestricted funds at the year end of £8,016,963 (2024 - £8,171,652). As the charity carries out no direct charitable activities and does not generally make commitments from year to year to future giving, there is no need to retain reserves for this purpose. However, the trustees aim to maintain reserves at a level which equates to approximately one year of expenditure. The trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to respond to donation applications, to cover administration and governance costs and to meet expenses relating to the maintenance, repair and management of the Hayton Estate. The trustees will also only commit to making donations if they consider there to be sufficient funds available for known and/or anticipated expenditure relating to the maintenance, repair and management of the Hayton Estate. **- 3 -** ## **E C GRAHAM'S CHARITABLE SETTLEMENT** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** The trustees have the investment powers of an absolute owner beneficially entitled. The trustees also have the power to delegate such powers and discretions as the trustees think fit to any person or persons for the purposes of managing or advising upon or otherwise assisting in the management of any land or investments comprised in the trust fund. The trustees are authorised to retain the Hayton Estate for as long as they think fit and without any obligation to diversify. The investment portfolio is held with Brewin Dolphin Ltd and there are no restrictions on any particular ethical or moral grounds as to the nature of the investments to be held. The trustees review their investment policy at the annual trustees' meeting. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** E C Graham's Charitable Settlement was constituted by a Deed of Settlement dated 10 December 1976 as amended by a Deed of Variation made 25 September 1977. The charity is an unincorporated charity. The charity is registered with the Charity Commission under number 274450. The principal office of the charity is Victoria House, Wavell Drive, Rosehill, Carlisle, CA1 2ST. Following the death of the settlor on the 30 April 1996, the power of appointment of new trustees is vested in the present trustees. During the year Mr A I Thompson retired as trustee and was replaced with Mr M J T Nicholls. The trustees give their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year. One of the trustees is a solicitor whose firm provided professional and administrative services to the charity. One of the other trustees charges expenses in relation to attending meetings and postage. Details of trustee expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in notes 8 and 17 to the financial statements. **- 4 -** ## **E C GRAHAM'S CHARITABLE SETTLEMENT** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** With regard to risk assessment, the trustees have formed a view of the risks to which they consider the charity is exposed and are taking such preventative action as they believe to be appropriate. ## **FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS** The charity’s activities expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk, cash flow risk and liquidity risk. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the charity’s policies approved by the board of trustees, which provide written principles on the use of financial derivatives to manage these risks. The charity does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. The charity’s principal financial assets are bank balances and cash, trade and other receivables, and investments. The charity’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows. The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. The charity has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties and customers. **- 5 -** ## **E C GRAHAM'S CHARITABLE SETTLEMENT** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** ## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; - make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the settlement. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The annual report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 5 November 2025 and signed on its behalf by: .........................................

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of E C Graham's Charitable Settlement as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ......................................

Mr M J T Nicholls Trustee **- 9 -** ## **E C GRAHAM'S CHARITABLE SETTLEMENT** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025** ## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **Statement of compliance** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. ## **Basis of preparation** E C Graham's Charitable Settlement meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. ## **Going concern** The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. ## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. ## **Income** Investment income is accounted for in the period in which the charity is entitled to receipt. ## **Expenditure** All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. **- 10 -** ## **E C GRAHAM'S CHARITABLE SETTLEMENT** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025 (CONTINUED)** ## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. ## **Governance costs** These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including independent examination, strategic management and trustees’ meetings and reimbursed expenses. ## **Taxation** The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. ## **Investment properties** Investment property is carried at fair value, derived from the current market prices for comparable properties determined by external valuers. The valuers use observable market prices, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. ## **Fixed asset investments** Fixed asset investments, other than programme related investments, are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal. Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end. ## **Fund structure** Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. ## **Financial instruments** Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. **- 11 -** ## **E C GRAHAM'S CHARITABLE SETTLEMENT** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025 (CONTINUED)** ## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the Statement of Financial Position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party. Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price for an identical asset in an active market. When quoted prices are unavailable, the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides evidence of fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the transaction took place. If the market is not active and recent transactions of an identical asset on their own are not a good estimate of fair value, the fair value is estimated by using a valuation technique. ## **2 INVESTMENT INCOME** ||**Unrestricted**||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---| ||**funds**||||| ||||**Total**||**Total**| ||**General**||**2025**||**2024**| ||**£**||**£**||**£**| |Interest receivable and similar income;|||||| |Interest receivable on bank deposits|3,275||3,275||3,035| |Income from listed investments|88,516||88,516||67,620| |Income from investment properties|86,326||86,326||81,880| ||178,117||178,117||152,535| **- 12 -** ## **E C GRAHAM'S CHARITABLE SETTLEMENT** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025 (CONTINUED)** ## **3 EXPENDITURE ON RAISING FUNDS** ## **a) Investment management costs** ## **Unrestricted funds** ||**Unrestricted**
